A ceremonial dagger with a gleaming ruby embedded in its silver hilt. The blade is smooth, blackened steel with faint, gold-inscribed symbols running down its length. The handle is wrapped in deep red leather, soft but firm. Despite its metallic sheen, the blade never reflects the full image of its surroundings—only vague, distorted shapes. The ruby glows faintly in the dark, as if absorbing the surrounding light instead of reflecting it.
